A Gentlemanly Dog.
Boston Transcript.

Boston Transcript.
There is a dog who lives much
nearer Boston-in one Of our nearest
suburbs, in fact--who proves a great
solaee to a widow to whom he does
not belong. Dogs are usually given
to confding the benefits of their care
to their own household, but this one,
recognizing the unprotected state of
the widow, who lives alone, is will
ing to extend his watchful services to
her house. She is a little afraid of the
visits of the tramps who pass her
house on the, way to Boston. The
farmer who owns the dog, therefore,
when he sees a suspicious character
coming up the road, says to his dog +:
"Jack, go over to Mrs. H. s and sit
on her piazza till the tramp gets by"
Whereupon the dog, who is large
st. Bernard, flies over to Mrs. IS,
posts himself at the door, and if the
tramp comes up the walk steps for
ward and growls pleasantly at him.
As the dog is big one, and rather
forbidding in appearance, though he
has never been known to bite any.

out of hundred, remembers that il

How to Destroy Cutworms.

The State Wheel.
Where they are troublesome in
gardens, if boards are laid along the
rows they will seek shelter under
them from the light after nights
work. Go early and turn the boards
over and catch them. But the most
etfectual way we know, and we have
tried it successfully for years and
found it source of amusementto the
children, which renders their assist
ance easily commanded, is, take
lamps or candles, and gointo the gar
den about 8 o'clock at night and
search the plants carefully, and a
person that has never tried it will be
surprised at the number to be found.
Have an oyster can or other vessel
that will cOnfine them until the
search is completed, when they can
be poured into the fire, or hold them
in prison till morning, when the
chickens will dispose Of them very
readily. Try it.

Something About Newspapers.

The nineteenth annual volume of
the American Newspaper Directo-
ry," published by Geo. P. Rowell &
Co., New York, was issued the first
of this month. This is the leading
publication of its character in this
country, and is relied upon for its re-
ports of the newspaper business of the
United States as much as are Dun's
and Bradstreet's reports of the COM
mercial interests of the country. The
following paragraphs summarize
some of the information given in the
work:
"The new volume contains an eX-
haustive list of all Class Publications,
so admirably arranged that any one
of the three thousand papers repre-
scented there can be readily referred to
and all important facts concerning it,
together with its circulation rating,
easily obtained.
"The Newspaper Directory will
be used principally by publishers, adj
vertisers and advertising agents, but
the vast fund of information it con-
tains makes it valuable to persons OF
almost every trade and profession
ASH gazetteer alone it is well worth
the price charged, $500, for it fully
describes every town in which q
newspaper is issued, and few people
care to know about any place where
one is not.
"The number of papers published
in the United States, Territories (in
Guiding Alaska, and Canada, is put
at 10, 400; an increase of 5Sl in one
year.
"The growth of newspapers il
some of the Western States would bt
a matter of wonder, if it were no
that this year is no exception to thu
rule. In Kansas the increase is 8;
and in Nebraska Ga; while the Key
stone State shows a smaller advanc,
of So and the Buckeye State of 80
Pennsylvania exhibits the largest in
crease in dailies, IL; Kansas il
weeklies, 81, and New York il
monthlies, AZ. Seven States show {
decrease; the most prominent instan
ces being New Hampshire and Viz
ginia, six each. The whole volum
shows that great care has been takel
to sustain its reputation as the mos
comprehensive work of the kind We
published, and to insure accuracy il
every detail. Anything less than

newspapers and periodicals woul,

When he is well out of sight the

The dog carries his gallantry to the

her home, taking her to the very

Agricultural Jottings,

Destroying weeds on the roadside
is now made compulsory in New
York.
Sulphur and tar fumes are said to
be good means of getting ridof cur
culios.
Corn is a much more certain crop
than wheat, one year with another,
over a large part of the country.
Dat straw is readily eaten bysheep,
and is healthful food, especially if
harvested before the oats were ripe.
Broom corn is good supplement-
airy crop, and there are few farmers
whom it would not pay to plant a
few acres.
Plainly speaking, make your sur
face loose, and keep it so, and shade
it and keep it shaded, and the soil
will grow rich.
Foxglove (digitalis) is a good reme-
dy for thumps in pigs. One drop at
a time is enough for young pig once
in three hours.
An employee careless enough to
smoke in barns or sheds among hay
or straw is usually not trustworthy at
other times, or at any work.
A specified amount of food, say
1000 pounds, evenly divided among
four hogs in separate pens, will pro-
duce one-fifth more pork than the
same amount fed to four hogs to-
gether.
Remove your old house, plow up
the place where it stood and see how
it produces; cover spot ten feet
square with boards and keep it COW
cred five or ten years, and the spot is
rich.
With this system Of high farming
and heavy manuring our land must
increase in productiveness and adj
vance in value, while the effect of the
ship-shod or Swimming process is the
reverse.
No man ever sowed, for moving
purposes only, a field of red clover,
and kept it for moving purposes,
without any pasturing for five years,
without adding 80 per cent to the fer.
tility of that field.
Creamery butter is worked by be,
ing pressed. under the roller and
pressed with sponge covered with
fine muslin. The butter passes un'
der the roller about fifteen times, be
ing turned and pressed each time.
While the hens may not protect ar
orchard from insects, it has beer
demonstrated that when poultry are
confined around the trees they viii
prove very serviceable in preventing
the attack Of insects.
Make all your hives and frames o
the same dimensions, so that frame
from one hive fit accurately into an
other, and you will thus be able, il
future management, to get soma
benefit from the movable comb prin
ciple.
In France the law requires tina
every person convicted of selling
adulterated products shall himself ad
vertise that fact by means of a pla
card hung up in his place of business
or attached to his wagon for certain
number of months or weeks.

AN EVERYDAY GIRL

She's only an everyday girl,
Without any semblance of art,
This wide-awake, sensible maid,
To whom have given my heart.
She's womanly, gentle and kind,
The least little bit of a prude,
Whose dignity is o rebuke
To those too familiar, or rude.
She's honest and frank as the day,
Has never been known to deceive,
And everything she may assert
Is certainly safe to believe.
Her beauty is not of the kind
To set any heart in whirl,
And light-headed friendships are not
The choice of an every day girl.
Her taste in the matter of dress
Is neither too snowy nor grave,
But such as will lead you to guess
She is not to fashion a slave:
Yet many one has turned round
On meeting her out in the street,
To admire the everyday girl
Who looked so remarkably sw eet.
Her gifts and her graces are'not
Set out in attractive array
To dazzle or envy excite,
Or ever for public display;
But sitting beside her alone,
Or with choice few, you will find
How good and how great is her heart,
How richly endowed is her mind.
To her you may so in your grief,
And freely your troubles rehearse
On her in your sickness depend,
For she is a capital nurse;
Whatever the straityou are in,
Though others may give you no hee(
You'll find that an everyday girl
viii furnish the help that you neet
She's patient, forbearing and wise,
Good.natured, kind-hearted and true
And does with resolute will
The tasks that are set her to do.
All, happy, indeed is his lot,
Without an occasion for strife,
Who with such an everyday girl
Can spend every day of his life
